1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: It's NIC's Eyes with Dan Ray on Going Easy, Boston's

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: news radio.

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 2: We with Craig Fitzgerald as a guest. He's an automotive

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 2: writer and longtime friend of the show. We're loosely talking

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 2: about cars, but we're also going to stretch it out

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 2: into ice fishing, talk about anything you want. This is

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 2: just a post to go back to every once in

8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: a while. And uh, where are we on the car

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 2: we started out with? And I guess we'll continue asking

10
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: you auto stop start? How do you feel about auto

11
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 2: stop start?

12
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 3: And we've gotten all negatives so far negative, So I'm

13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 3: interested to see if there's anybody out there who actually

14
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 3: likes it. Yeah, I don't think they were any My

15
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 3: guess is going to be zero people, all right, Always

16
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 3: find out what Jane and Shrewsbury says. Hi, Jane, you're

17
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 3: on WBZ.

18
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 4: Hi, guys. Always good to hear Craig's voice on the

19
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 4: radio again with you Bradley.

20
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 3: Oh, thanks, Jane.

21
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 4: I have one sort of personal question that sort of relates,

22
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 4: but then I have a couple other questions for you.

23
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 4: So when you're talking about these features on cars, I

24
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 4: don't have a new enough car to have that so

25
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 4: I do have a question. I might have even asked

26
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 4: you this more or less in some form before. But

27
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 4: a twenty year old car, twenty one year old Toyota,

28
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 4: the other gentleman called with a twenty ten I mean,

29
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 4: is age a problem? Or as long as they're low miles,

30
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 4: can they go and go and go for many years

31
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 4: or do they kind of start to break down just

32
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 4: because they're getting old.

33
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 3: I would keep that car. You know, if you've if

34
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 3: you've maintained a car properly, there's no reason that that

35
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 3: car can't go a million miles. I mean, it's okay,

36
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 3: it's not unusual for a vehicle to go three hundred

37
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 3: and fifty thousand miles. Now. The only thing that I

38
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 3: would say that, you know, look it's it's maybe time

39
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: to think about getting rid of it is rust that

40
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 3: in New England, especially like in underneath, you know, undercarriage rust.

41
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 3: I had a I had a you know, I've had

42
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: vehicles that the frame is essentially rusted apart underneath the vehicle,

43
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 3: so that at that point, like you can still fix it,

44
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 3: but you're probably better off trying to find something else.

45
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 5: But I'm not a car expert.

46
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: That's why crazy here, But what about stuff like rubber

47
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: bushings and rubber car.

48
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 3: Motor mounts and stuff. I mean, those are replaceable items.

49
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 3: So a motor mount, you know, you can a motor

50
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 3: mount is a is a maybe an hour and a

51
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 3: half job for somebody. So if the motor mounts are

52
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 3: are going bad, then you replace them. If suspension parts,

53
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 3: you know, rubber bushings, you know, suspension bushings go bad

54
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 3: all the time, they're geared to be replaced.

55
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 5: What kind of personal rule was.

56
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: If tax is on a new car or a different

57
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: car it would cost me more than the rep then

58
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: I would just get there.

59
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 3: A good rule of thumb. I mean, and sometimes you know, Jane,

60
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 3: you may you may want to get a new car.

61
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 3: I mean, there's nothing wrong with that either. But I

62
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: I would prefer, you know, to hang on to something.

63
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 3: It's the devil, I know. And you know, I'm kind

64
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 3: of like, if I know what I've put into it,

65
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: and I know I've maintained it properly, then there's a

66
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 3: good chance that that can, you know, last me a

67
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 3: good long time.

68
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 5: So that's why I am there.

69
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you've sort of answered that for me before.

70
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 4: And it makes sense too, because you don't. Even if

71
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 4: you're buying a relatively new used car someone else was driving,

72
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 4: you don't know what they did exactly. And if you

73
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 4: can't just go buy a new car, then sometimes you're

74
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 4: better off with your older But I do have a

75
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 4: couple other questions, if that's okay. Y Well, I went

76
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 4: to like an eco fair and a different suburban high

77
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 4: school once, and there was a guy doing electric car

78
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 4: things for you know, like plugging your car in at

79
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 4: your own house. And I was talking to him and

80
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 4: I said, I wasn't that big of a fan of

81
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 4: electric cars in general, even though I'm really interested in

82
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 4: the environment. And he agreed with me, and he said

83
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 4: he wouldn't own one, even though he was selling those

84
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 4: home plugin systems, because he said, I don't want to

85
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 4: get stranded somewhere in like New Hampshire where Bradley comes

86
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 4: from or something like that, and I'm not near a

87
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 4: charging station. So my thought is that electric cars, which

88
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 4: are certainly the wave of the future, are the futures here.

89
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 4: It makes more sense in the United States maybe that

90
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 4: they be for smaller distance, shorter distances, and not try

91
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 4: to get major you know, three hundred, four hundred whatever

92
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 4: it is miles and then have to have extra batteries

93
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 4: and be that much heavier and that much more material.

94
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 4: So that was I'm curious if you agree. But also,

95
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 4: California has been changing the standards for years and Detroit

96
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 4: adapts to it, and it seems like that works as

97
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 4: a system for making cars more fuel efficient. And now

98
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 4: Donald Trump wants to say California can't set its own standards,

99
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 4: but I don't think Detroit wants that to change. I

100
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 4: think they have sort of depended and benefited from that

101
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 4: and improving their technology. So I'm curious where that stands

102
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 4: and and what you think about it. And the last

103
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 4: thing is I looked up right turns on red arrow

104
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 4: when you were talking about it, yep, And according to

105
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 4: the AI on Google and even the like Reddit, it

106
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 4: says you can make a right turn after you come

107
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 4: to a complete stop. So I'm not.

108
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 3: Sure a red arrow in this state not on a

109
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 3: red arrow in this state. So it may be, you know,

110
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 3: all of the states, you might be able to, but

111
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 3: the laws is pretty clear. Bradley had the had the

112
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 3: text of the law up and and here in Massachusetts

113
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 3: you can't do that.

114
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 4: Well, according to Google, you can't.

115
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 3: That's maybe.

116
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: That's a Google AI problem. Yeah, here's an example of

117
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 2: how accurate AI is. Sometime after uh Rob Reiner was died,

118
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: I asked, uh, one of the AI.

119
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 5: Sources, do you give me some information on it?

120
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 2: They said, there's absolutely no uh hint of any news

121
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 2: about anything happening to Rob Braner at all?

122
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 3: Right, right?

123
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 5: And I yelled it the AI guys, are you kidding me?

124
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 5: How can I trust you?

125
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 3: And is not a real person?

126
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 2: But over it's it's we can talk about that too.

127
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 2: It's all over the news, mister a person. What's wrong

128
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 2: with you?

129
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 5: Oh? I'm really sorry, but we have no So we.

130
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 3: Should do an AI show sometimes because I have to

131
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: use it all the time, and it's first I use.

132
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: It for something too, when it's not a matter of

133
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: right or wrong. Right, I say, can you write me

134
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: some text in my video?

135
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 6: Right?

136
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 7: Right?

137
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 5: You know? And it does a great job of that.

138
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: It does a better job than I can do because

139
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 2: I know it's spelled correctly, and they get I get

140
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 2: three paragraphs in a half a second.

141
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 3: So, so Jane's questions in order ev technology, I'm a fan.

142
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 3: I am with you in that we don't need a

143
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 3: ten pound you know, f one fifty. Uh, you'd be

144
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 3: better off with a smaller car, smaller battery, the charges faster,

145
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 3: and that maybe got you two hundred and fifty miles

146
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 3: rather than four hundred. So that's my that's been my

147
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 3: experience with like the the Hyundai Kona, for example, the

148
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: EV that has a relatively small battery. It charges fast.

149
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 3: You can actually plug it into a regular one ten

150
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 3: outlet and charge it overnight. The batteries so small, So

151
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 3: I like that, you know, I think the idea that

152
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 3: we're going to build you know, full sized pickup trucks

153
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 3: with EV batteries, it's that's a dumb idea to me.

154
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 3: Let's see. Second question was that was the second one? Okay,

155
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: what was the What was the next one?

156
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 4: Jane Oh about like the policy that California gets standards

157
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 4: and then Detroit a depth then seeps to benefit from that,

158
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 4: versus the idea that we need to bring back gas

159
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 4: guzzlers aren't necessarily.

160
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 3: There's been a huge shift from auto manufacturers. Like in

161
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 3: the nineteen seventies, the auto manufacturers would dead set against

162
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 3: any kind of legislation that would that would make them

163
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 3: do anything right. They would fight tooth and nail over

164
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 3: every single thing that the government would try to do,

165
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,559
Speaker 3: including like putting seat belts in cars. They fought tooth

166
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 3: and nail to avoid that, and so in the in

167
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 3: the twenty tens, that shift started to happen when they

168
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 3: realized that they could actually sell these safety technologies and

169
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 3: fuel efficiency technologies as a benefit, which is what they

170
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 3: should have done right from the get go. So California,

171
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 3: you're right, sets the standard. There are eleven states that

172
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 3: really have signed on to what California wants to do,

173
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 3: Massachusetts being one of them as far as emissions technology.

174
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 3: So I'm all for that, and I think Detroit is

175
00:08:58,880 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 3: at this point.

176
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 2: Before we break, Yeah, I need to know from Jane.

177
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 2: Are you in favor of the stop start technology?

178
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 5: Are not?

179
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 6: Oh?

180
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 4: Is that like when the car literally just stops and

181
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 4: then restarts itself when you're you're saying, okay, I've only

182
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 4: experienced it when I'm on the road talking to like

183
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 4: a neighbor who has a car like that, and it's

184
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 4: very disconcerting and weird. I've never driven a car. I

185
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 4: love that.

186
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: I'm putting you down for no. Okay, thank you, Jam,

187
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 3: that's thanks.

188
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 2: Jane, and uh, you know, the EPA chief Lee Zelden

189
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 2: called the technology itself absurd. Yeah, technology, I mean may

190
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: not wonder, but it's not absurd, right, Okay, more in

191
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 2: a moment, Linda and Chris next on WBZ.

192
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: You're on night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's

193
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: news radio.

194
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: And we continue speaking about car stuff and anything actually,

195
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 2: honestly anything you like.

196
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 5: We have Craig christ Gerald with us and the.

197
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: Top of the loose topics, are you in favor of

198
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: the automatic start stop start technology which is no longer

199
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 2: being subsidized and going away? That's the thing where you

200
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 2: come up to the light, kyr shuts off, that goes green,

201
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 2: get the guess car turns on again.

202
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 5: I don't think we justice on the air.

203
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 6: But.

204
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: Karen producer Karen was concerned that this technology would be

205
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 2: a drain on batteries and starters.

206
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 5: We didn't talk about this.

207
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 3: On the air, No, we didn't. And and our Carla

208
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 3: from Vermont mentioned it, and he, you know, I think

209
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: he was concerned about the longevity of these things. I have.

210
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 3: You know it. It behooves you to make sure that

211
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 3: your battery is in good shape. I haven't seen where

212
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 3: it's been an additional drain on anybody's battery.

213
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 5: And I haven't.

214
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: I also haven't seen anybody had the technology completely fail either,

215
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 3: So you know, I think that's less of a concern.

216
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 3: And then people make it out to be.

217
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 2: You used to stand there in a room and flickley

218
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 2: lights switch on and off and just like a crazy person. Yeah,

219
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 2: just you know, absent mindly clicklick. Well the lights weren flashing,

220
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 2: but I was. And my father would say, you know,

221
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 2: that's only gonna work so many times, and they're using

222
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 2: those times up.

223
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 3: It's only going to work twelve million times.

224
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 2: So the starter, you know, especially if it's buried inside

225
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 2: of transmission.

226
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, click click, click, click, click, click on off. Yeah.

227
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 3: I can see where if you're running in and out

228
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 3: of Boston every day and in heavy traffic and the

229
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 3: car's shutting off and turning on and shutting off and

230
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 3: turning on, you could be concerned about that. But you

231
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 3: think for most people that's not necessarily an issue.

232
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 5: You don't care.

233
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 3: I don't care about other people. Linda and Weymouth.

234
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 8: You're on WBZ HI Glorification.

235
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 9: Linda from South Weymouth. There's two of us one's from north.

236
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 8: All right, I'd like to defer, not to answer your

237
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 8: general issues there, but bringing up the item of the

238
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 8: red light versus the red.

239
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 9: Arrow is a difference.

240
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 5: The question is.

241
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 9: A red light and then go bet a red arrow

242
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 9: I think is completely different? Correct?

243
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 3: Correct? So the red arrow you can't turn.

244
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 9: Correct? Better red stop light? Stop and then check around

245
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 9: and then go correct.

246
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 3: As long as as long as there's not a no

247
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 3: turn on red sign. Yes, that's correct.

248
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 9: Okay, thank you for the clarification, Josh, So you're both.

249
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 8: Right, got it?

250
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 3: Thank you?

251
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 2: Got Well, it's so complicated. My mines everywhere and you're

252
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 2: gonna look everywhere for signs, and yet all the while

253
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: not getting hit by a car. Right, is there no

254
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: no turn on red sign here or not? You scouring everywhere?

255
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 5: Is there?

256
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 8: Is?

257
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 3: This?

258
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 6: Is?

259
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 3: This is a parking space? Is the is the sign

260
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 3: that says loading zone? Does that mean it's.

261
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 5: I don't think I've ever successfully parked in the city ever.

262
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 4: No.

263
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 5: A couple of times I.

264
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 3: Parked, you know, it cost me a hundred on the street.

265
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 5: No hundred bucks. It's just too hard.

266
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 3: Yep. That's why I love the MBT. I'm up in Portland,

267
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 3: all the time, and people complain about parking up there

268
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 3: all the time. It's like I tried to find a

269
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 3: parking spot on Newberry Street one time, and I'm still

270
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 3: circling trying to find like I've been at it for

271
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 3: twelve years.

272
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 5: I love the MBTA.

273
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: Please tell Philang that I'm the you know, the only

274
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 2: living human that loves the MBTA. We have Chris on

275
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 2: the Cape. You're on WBZ Chris.

276
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 6: By Hi Bradley Craig. I have a question as to

277
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 6: the I mean, casually in the market for a new

278
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 6: car to replace in my twenty sixteen Tahoe, I guess predictably,

279
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 6: I had to put a new transmission in it. I

280
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 6: think they were the old.

281
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 3: Left you did it.

282
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 6: I've got that top and twenty sixteen Tahoe. I forget

283
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 6: what the letters are and all the rest. But I

284
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 6: love it, and I invested for the purposes of prolonging it.

285
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 6: I like to drive a car till it dies, basically,

286
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 6: and so nine years into this, I still love the car.

287
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 6: But it's got an ABS light on it. I don't

288
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 6: know if that impairs inspection or not, but I was

289
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 6: told by the mechanic that it's really not a problem.

290
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't remember if ABS. If an ABS light

291
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 3: on will get you a rejected sticker, I can't remember

292
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 3: or not.

293
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, the only problem with the ABS light on is

294
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 6: that you have to go to the dealer to get

295
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 6: it fixed. I was told transmission I had it done. Yeah,

296
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 6: maybe I got by my advice. I don't know. But

297
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 6: at the same time, I'm due for a new car

298
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 6: and I'm looking at something different. I loved the old

299
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 6: Lincoln Aviator, which I also drove to its demise. It

300
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 6: was far less, it was far It was almost like

301
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 6: a mid size suv. It was much smaller than they

302
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 6: are now, and they are extraordinarily expensive. But I saw

303
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 6: actually it took a fairly prominent limo company started traded

304
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 6: out the Lincoln Aviators, which the new ones, which were

305
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 6: really luxurious, and then out using the Highlander. And I

306
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 6: was sort of disappointed when I saw it until I

307
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 6: got in it and it was beautiful.

308
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 3: Toyota Highlander.

309
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So I'm looking at Toyota Highlander. And

310
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 6: then I heard you earlier talk about the merits of

311
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 6: the tell your ride as as comparing the two, what

312
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 6: would you recommend?

313
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 3: Well, that's that's a little bit of a tough question

314
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 3: because you know, there's are you more interested in the

315
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 3: vehicle or are you interested in the deal? Because the

316
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 3: Highlander right now is not selling particularly well, and it's

317
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 3: it's kind of the it's kind of the oldest vehicle

318
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 3: in Toyota's fleet at the moment. There's a new one coming,

319
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 3: and there may be an opportunity to get a really

320
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 3: good deal on a on a new Highlander. I would

321
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 3: I would look into that. That is also true of

322
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 3: the the The Tell Your Ride in that there's a

323
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 3: twenty seven coming that is very nice that I think

324
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 3: a lot of people are going to like. But the

325
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 3: the current Tell Your Ride is so popular that I'm

326
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 3: sure that you could end up working a better deal

327
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 3: on a on a Highlander at the moment than you

328
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 3: could on the on the Tell You Ride. I I

329
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 3: don't think. I don't have a complaint about either of

330
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 3: those vehicles other than the current Highlander kind of looks

331
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 3: a little old, But I mean it's a new car.

332
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 3: You know, it's for you coming from a Tahoe that's

333
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 3: been around for a while. It's gonna be like night

334
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 3: and day, and there's a good chance that you can

335
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 3: be driving that thing until the end of time too,

336
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 3: you know, so, so I would I would sort of

337
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 3: lean towards the Highlander a little bit only because I

338
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 3: think that that there's a there's an opportunity to get

339
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 3: a pretty decent deal at the moment.

340
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 5: Beautiful.

341
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 2: Thanks Chris, there you go. You know you mentioned this.

342
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 2: I can add this layer of question to folks. I

343
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 2: think it's a really good one. Could probably do a

344
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 2: whole show on this, folks, And Craig, are you tired

345
00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: of those screen menus? Would you like to go back to? No,

346
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: would you like to go back to knobs and dial tactile?

347
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 5: You know where it is.

348
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 2: You don't even have to look, whereas at the screen

349
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 2: you got to look, and if the light's right wrong,

350
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 2: you can't see anything. And you're going through menus while

351
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 2: you're driving. I say, I don't like them. They're good

352
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 2: for some things like backing up, yeah, but as far

353
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 2: as having your radio and all that stuff there knobs,

354
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 2: I don't see anything better about the menus than the knobs.

355
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 3: In the current generation of the The Outback, the Super

356
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 3: Roo Outback, they went screen heavy for a while where

357
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 3: everything was sort of in that info attainment screen and

358
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 3: buried under menus and all of that kind of stuff,

359
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 3: and most of the common features were you know, obvious.

360
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 3: But even then it's like it's hard to touch something

361
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 3: to turn the temperature up, you know, while you're sailing

362
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 3: down the highway it's seven. You know, it's not a

363
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 3: good user experience. So in the current generator, in the

364
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 3: new generation of the outback, the screen has rotated so

365
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 3: that it's landscape versus portrait, which I think people like

366
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 3: a lot better. And a lot of functions have moved

367
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 3: from that screen back to physical knobs and buttons.

368
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 2: Something satisfying about tech button too. When it comes to

369
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 2: producing music, there are there's hardware equipment like compressors they

370
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 2: have knobs, yep, and then there's the software version. We

371
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 2: kind of tweaking around on the soft picking stuff, and

372
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 2: it just feels so much better to beat.

373
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 3: I like a tactic dial knob and I like so

374
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 3: there's several things. Heat controls should all be in buttons, uh,

375
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 3: And I still like knobs for free heat controls too.

376
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 3: I would prefer to have that than automatic climate control,

377
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 3: to be honest. So you know, I think all of

378
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 3: that stuff is a positive.

379
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 2: How about you folks, screen or knobs. Let's send a

380
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 2: message way to Detroit more in a moment. On WBZ.

381
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:10,680

Speaker 3: And for Dan.

384

Speaker 2: On night Side on WBZ guest his car guy, Craig Fitzgerald.

385
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 2: We have Richard, Martin and Margie and Tracy. Who's first?

386
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 2: That would be Richard and Newton. Richard say hello to

387
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 2: Craig on WBZ, Hey, how.

388
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 10: Are you doing?

389
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 11: Great show?

390
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 3: Thank you.

391
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 11: Two quick things that I didn't know until about three

392
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 11: years ago. Supposedly, you can take a left on a

393
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 11: red light, just like taking it all right, but all

394
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 11: the traffic has to be going one way. Are you

395
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 11: aware of that?

396
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 3: Yes, so that would be a left on red as

397
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 3: long as yes. Correct. So if you're on a one

398
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 3: way street, if you've come up to a one way

399
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 3: street and the cars are coming from your left only,

400
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 3: then you can take a left on red, much like

401
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 3: you can take a right on red. But that's a

402
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 3: very specific situation one.

403
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 11: Years ago. I didn't know about it till four years

404
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 11: ago when a cop told me about it, and I thought,

405
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 11: why don't they this on TV? Because I would say

406
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 11: that eighty percent of most people in Massachusetts are not

407
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:18,719
Speaker 11: familiar with that.

408
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 3: I think they're probably right.

409
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 2: Well, people in Massachusetts aren't familiar with that a stop

410
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 2: sign means stop.

411
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 11: Yeah, Well, lest because they don't because they don't think.

412
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, so so that's that's right, you know, like but

413
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 3: it you know, and and you know, honestly, most people

414
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 3: you know who are outside the city not a lot

415
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 3: of one ways out and you know, Holliston and Medway

416
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 3: and places like that. So you know, I think a

417
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 3: lot of people just aren't familiar with it because they're

418
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 3: not from the city. Yeah, And I don't know if

419
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 3: I would exercise that little rule, I just wait, we'll see,

420
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 3: it would have to be, you know, it would have

421
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 3: to be in a very specific situation.

422
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 5: So I don't have to.

423
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 11: Yeah, my favorite Tom Holliston.

424
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's where I'm from.

425
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 5: Thank you very much. Thanks man, We got that taken

426
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 5: care of. That was Tracy and Medway. You're on WBS

427
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 5: with Craig.

428
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 12: Well, Craig, I didn't know you were from Holliston.

429
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 4: I am, huh so.

430
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 12: My dad's an old car guy and worked at General

431
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 12: Motors on Bramingham.

432
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 3: Yep.

433
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 7: Yep.

434
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 12: And he was a little frustrated with me when I

435
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 12: bought my first Toyota Highland room.

436
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 3: Oh I bet, I bet.

437
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 10: Yeah.

438
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 12: But when I bought my eight that I'm still driving

439
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 12: with two hundred and fifty five thousand miles on it,

440
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 12: he just in the past year turned around and bought

441
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 12: a used twenty sixteen Camray.

442
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 3: Oh good for him.

443
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 12: Yeah, well, his Acadia, his GMC Acadia. You know he's

444
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 12: as a daily driver. Said it's not getting him great

445
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 12: gas mileage. So but I just heard what you said

446
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 12: about the new Highlander and how you said it looks

447
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 12: kind of old. I what do you think about the

448
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 12: the O eights to the twenty thirteen that that was

449
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 12: the year of the style. I'm driving the used ones

450
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 12: now it's really hard to find one was less than

451
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 12: one hundred thousand miles.

452
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, so.

453
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're you know, a Highlander is you know, anything

454
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,719
Speaker 3: from Toyota. If it's been well maintained, if it's you know,

455
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 3: it hasn't been in a collision, if it's not rusty,

456
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,719
Speaker 3: they they tend to last for a good long time. So,

457
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 3: you know, two hundred and fifty thousand miles out of

458
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 3: a Toyota is not unheard of, so if you were.

459
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 3: You know, the only reason I say that that they're

460
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 3: that that generation. You know that the current uh, the

461
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five that kind of looks old. It's that,

462
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 3: you know, it's at the end of its life cycle

463
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 3: and most people don't care. You know, it's a new

464
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 3: car for them. They don't care. I'm looking at them like, oh,

465
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 3: you know, we have shifted the design of vehicles as

466
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 3: a whole into a much moder and more modern feel,

467
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 3: and that one doesn't have it. Most people don't care

468
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 3: about that. They're just looking for a good, reliable car.

469
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 3: So I mean, I wouldn't have any any issues with

470
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 3: buying the previous generation. I think they're fine vehicle and

471
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 3: I know plenty of people that have been driving them

472
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 3: with with great success for years, so I wouldn't have

473
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 3: any issue with them.

474
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 12: One other question for you, Compared to the Honda Passport,

475
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 12: which they've just brought back what the past five years,

476
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 12: I believe they don't have a shift handle.

477
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I hate it. I you know, this is

478
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 3: this is we need to stop trying to reinvent the shifter. Everybody.

479
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 3: It's like, you know, you got some of these things

480
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 3: is that got buttons on the dash, there's like a

481
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 3: play school thing, and the you know on Honda's especially,

482
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 3: there's like this thing that you need to relearn to

483
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 3: shift into reverse. There's there's all kind thing. Just give

484
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 3: me a shifter, That's all I'm looking for. There's no

485
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 3: reason to reinvent that. So I'm not a fan of that,

486
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 3: to be honest.

487
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 5: Thanks Tracy. Whatever happened to three on.

488
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 3: The tree that's gone, I'm long gone, because first of all,

489
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 3: standards are long gone, right So yeah, and it would

490
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 3: be goofy to have it on the on the staring

491
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 3: column again, right right, So so Mercedes puts theirs on

492
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 3: the on the column. They have the shifter on the

493
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 3: column and it's it's exactly the same stock as the

494
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 3: turn signal on the other side. And it's the most

495
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,959
Speaker 3: frustrating shifter I have ever encountered. I hate it. I

496
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 3: hate it. I hate it. Mercedes. You need to fix that.

497
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 2: I am at some point I'd like to address the

498
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 2: following before we leave, but I do want to get Yeah, Carlos,

499
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 2: I I forgot to mention this, and I know you've

500
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 2: seen it. Uh, examples of how dangerous flush door handles

501
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 2: are and how you can't it's as a fire or

502
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 2: an accident, you might not be able to it's harder

503
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 2: to get someone out. So you know, we'll talk about

504
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 2: that maybe after sure, after the break. It's Martin in

505
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 2: New Hampshire.

508
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 13: great shot. I just I just wanted to let you

509
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 13: guys know that I've been driving a Highlander for the

510
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 13: last five years. I got a as a hybrid and

511
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 13: I got my first one twenty twenty and I drove

512
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 13: it for three or four years, and I fall in

513
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 13: love with a Highlander. It's just the gas. I have

514
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 13: the new one, I had the twenty. I wait eight

515
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 13: months to get another one, the two two twenty five,

516
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 13: and I still have the tank with between fifty five

517
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 13: sixty dollars sixty dollars and it gives me five hundred and.

518
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 3: Fifty miles, isn't it great?

519
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 13: Gives me It's unbelievable. Yeah, unbelievable. I have a business

520
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 13: in Massachusetts and I drive to New Hampshire. We live

521
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 13: in New Hampshire, and it's just amazing. That gives me

522
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 13: twenty five miles for a gallon, and it's a good size.

523
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 13: It's big inside. You know when I when I show

524
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 13: it to people, you know that they're very surprise. You

525
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 13: know how much space is inside the hybrid.

526
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that. I love that. I think the

527
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 3: Highlander is great. The other one that's like sort of

528
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 3: sort of under the radar is the the Sienna minivan.

529
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 3: It's it's incredible. It's the same same drive train as

530
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 3: the Highlander. It's a little bit bigger inside uh all

531
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 3: wheel drive, and it also has that same UH of

532
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 3: hybrid power train. And I am constantly shocked about how

533
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 3: far you can go without filling up on that thing.

534
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 3: I loved it, loved it. Good choice.

535
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 13: I had my wife and I we have a three

536
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,719
Speaker 13: kids by their adults. But if I have kids, I

537
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 13: think that's the one that I will go that. I

538
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 13: will go for it seeing the other. But now that

539
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 13: it's just my wife and I and we just love

540
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 13: driving the Highlander.

541
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 10: But I was interesting that when you said that, I noticed,

542
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 10: I wait eight months, we ordered, we ordered twenty five

543
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 10: and I noticed when I got this one, it was

544
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 10: nothing great. You know, I was expecting, you know, to

545
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 10: have more like a nicer look and outside, but I didn't.

546
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 10: But now that I listened to you, you think that

547
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 10: they're going to come up with a different.

548
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 3: It's it's coming. I've seen it. It's it's beautiful. You're

549
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 3: gonna love it. You're gonna love it. Thank you very much, Martin.

550
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, good, call Mark for that, and I will get

00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 2: Say hello to Craig.

560
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 14: Hi.

561
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 15: Craig, Hey, you are sounding like two oh fogies. The

562
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 15: first expensive car I ever bought, I got an inheritance

563
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 15: and I went right out and spent the hole inheritance

564
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 15: on the car. Because we were driving down the road,

565
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 15: stopped at the Carmen Gia place, got in that, took

566
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 15: it for a test drive. Then the next thing we know,

567
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 15: we're driving down the road and I just see a

568
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 15: roadster in front of the place I walk in. How

569
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 15: much do you want with it? My husband said, oh

570
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 15: my god, you're crazy. I said, I'll take it with

571
00:29:55,920 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 15: a BMW Roadster six cylinder roadster. Oh wow, I never

572
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 15: had more. I have never driven an automatic in my

573
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 15: life till I eighty one years old.

574
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 8: Was the first.

575
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 15: Automatic I ever owned. Wow, Dick shifts all the way.

576
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 15: Then I bought a second roadster after that one, which

577
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 15: I ran for one hundred and fifty thousand miles. When

578
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 15: you sit in the front seat and you can reach

579
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 15: the rear fender, that's a true sports card.

580
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 5: Yeah.

581
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 3: That's a great car. I love those things. That was

582
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 3: a Z three Roadster. Is that what it was?

583
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 15: Yeah? They were made in the Carolinas. We went down

584
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 15: to the factory for twelve years in a row. They

585
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 15: would invite every Z three owner to come, so there'd

586
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 15: be six hundred of us going down there in the factory,

587
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 15: free meals, threep party entertainment. BMW just put that on

588
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 15: for us every year.

589
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 3: That's great. Yeah, that's a nice car. I like this

590
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 3: a lot.

591
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 15: Tell me I hated Autumn, I really to this day.

592
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 15: I'm sorry I had to buy one. I was still

593
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 15: working when I was in my eighties, and I finally

594
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 15: got had to get rid of the sports car, and

595
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 15: I went looking for a stick shift, and I was

596
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 15: told I'd have to wait eight weeks. This was back

597
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 15: in twenty twenty four, twenty twenty one, and that's when

598
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 15: Subaru still made a stick shift. I don't think anyone

599
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 15: makes them anymore.

600
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 2: Question you just said back when you were in your eighties.

601
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 2: That means you're not in your eighties anymore.

602
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 15: No, I'm going to be out of it now. But

603
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 15: I still I still missed the stick shift, and you

604
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 15: would get a kick out of this. Imagine. I ended

605
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 15: up with the smallest car I could find, which was

606
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 15: a Subaru and present has buttons, knobs, the screen doesn't

607
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 15: come on, you know, my real ludite. So I go

608
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 15: down to try out the car. I've never sat behind

609
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 15: an automatic in my life. Over fifty years, I've had

610
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 15: a stick shift. So the poor salesman sits down next

611
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 15: to me, and I said, put on your seat belt

612
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 15: because I'm a left foot driver.

613
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 5: Wow, almost so much?

614
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 15: Where may enter the windshield? Three or four times, I

615
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 15: finally said, let me get out of the car, I

616
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 15: got back in and sat on my left foot.

617
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,719
Speaker 2: Man, Marjie, thank you so much. I can picture Margie

618
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 2: ninety years old. I don't know if you have white hair,

619
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 2: but with some sort of roadsterick convertible and a white

620
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 2: scarf and the top down, driving like sixty miles an

621
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 2: hour in Mount Washington.

622
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 5: You know some crazy thing.

623
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 3: SUPERU makes two sticks still, they make a BRZ and

624
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 3: they make the WRX with a with a manual transmission.

625
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 3: But that's it.

626
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 5: Stephen Hingham, you're on WBZ.

627
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 6: Hello, Yes, uh huh.

628
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 7: I've lived in Massachusetts for like twenty eight years now,

629
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 7: but prior to that, I lived in eight other states.

630
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 7: But I grew up in Michigan. I used to work

631
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 7: for General Motors at the proving grounds, and I've been

632
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 7: a big Chevy fan. I just recently purchased nineteen twenty

633
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 7: or twenty twenty six Chevy Traverse with the Auto Cruise,

634
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,239
Speaker 7: and I'd just be curious to think or hear what

635
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 7: you think about that car.

636
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 3: Supercruse is incredible. It's I love it so. Super Cruise

637
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 3: is basically it's a step towards autonomous driving where you

638
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 3: take your hands off the wheel and it will drive

639
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 3: you from you know, Boston to Maine. Only a handful

640
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 3: of times do you need to actually touch the wheels,

641
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 3: construction zones, toll booths, that kind of thing. You know,

642
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,479
Speaker 3: it makes you take control of the vehicle. But I

643
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 3: love Supercruse. I like it's a Traverse. Did you say

644
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 3: it was?

645
00:33:55,960 --> 00:34:00,479
Speaker 7: Yeah, the Traverse with the dual l CDs panel across

646
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 7: the front, the whole thing.

647
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 3: Yep. I have not driven the Traverse in this generation,

648
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 3: so I I have experience with the Super Crews in

649
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 3: I think it was a I can't remember if it

650
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 3: was an escalade. I think it was, and I thought

651
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 3: it was fantastic. And I've I've had experience with a

652
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 3: lot of the Buick stuff which I can't remember. It's

653
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 3: the envision is the same as the Traverse, So I

654
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 3: have driven one of those life correct and I like

655
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 3: that one a lot. I thought it was great, and uh,

656
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 3: you know, I I wish people would would take a

657
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 3: chance with a lot of GM stuff right at the

658
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 3: moment because it's pretty good quality vehicles that they're building

659
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 3: right now.

660
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 7: It's incredible. Yeah, it's incredible. You put that, you put

661
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,760
Speaker 7: the Super Crews on and you just take your hands

662
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 7: off the wheel and it goes to a green light,

663
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 7: says you're all good, and it just it automatically slows down,

664
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 7: keeps you in your lane. And then there's one feature

665
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 7: I do turn off. But if you're in your left

666
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 7: lane and you're going let's say seventy and the person

667
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 7: in front, he's going sixty five, it'll actually change lanes.

668
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 3: Isn't that wild?

669
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 7: From the left lane to the center lane and then

670
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 7: go around that car and then go back to the

671
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 7: left lane automatically.

672
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 3: I love it. I love it. It's it and it's

673
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 3: one of those things that like I drive back and

674
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 3: forth to main a lot and it's it's it's a

675
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 3: welcome feature to be able to make that drive and

676
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,359
Speaker 3: not have to actually one hundred percent drive the car.

677
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 3: I really like.

678
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 5: This is a good Thank you very much.

679
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 2: This is a good time for me to give you

680
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 2: my new view on self driving cars. I'm all in,

681
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,879
Speaker 2: hurry up and make them even better. And here's why

682
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 2: people are nervous about the technology failing. But when you

683
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 2: have an autonomous vehicle, you're not going to have any

684
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,959
Speaker 2: drunk driving at all. Right, all those drunk driving debts

685
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 2: go away, yep. No reckless driving deaths, right, and no

686
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 2: distracted driving deaths correct, and no just being stupid deaths.

687
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 2: If there was a vehicle that would get me through

688
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 2: Hartford without having to pay attention to anything, I would

689
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 2: buy it in a heartbeat.

690
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 3: I hate going through there.

691
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, you could just roll up.

692
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 2: What I want to have is a self driving car

693
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 2: and the windshield is a movie screen. Yeah, so I

694
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 2: can just watch movies, yep. I can read a book.

695
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 2: I can fall as leap for a little while. You

696
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 2: don't even look at Hertford at all.

697
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 3: Yep. I would love.

698
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 2: Let's go to Tom and Hudson and that'll do it.

699
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 5: Tom, what's up?

700
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 14: Hey, Hello, gentlemen. You know I called him one time

701
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 14: to talk to Bradley about the topic on the red Arrow, yep,

702
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 14: And I told him I moved up here from New

703
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 14: York City about eight years ago, and when I go

704
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 14: up to Walmart in Lemister over here in the central

705
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 14: Matt there's a red arrow when you're leaving Walmart. So

706
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,720
Speaker 14: I'm sitting at the red arrow, but just two lanes

707
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 14: and people going around me make it right turn, you know,

708
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 14: I'm like, what's going on here? So then I post

709
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 14: this question in a cop group that I'm in on

710
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 14: Facebook because I'm a retired cop from NYPD, and the

711
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 14: cops in Facebook said that you are allowed to turn

712
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 14: on a red arrow as long as the sign is

713
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 14: not there. I just googled it and it says the

714
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 14: same thing on Google.

715
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 3: The state law. You had the text of the state law, right,

716
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:31,879
Speaker 3: I don't have, Bradley, Bradley mass dot gov. You can

717
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 3: read the text of the law, and the text of

718
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 3: the law is what is the section? Bradley, I don't

719
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 3: happen to know that's gone. But but you know, you

720
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,240
Speaker 3: could read the by law and it's you know, you

721
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 3: you need to wait at that.

722
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 14: You know why I agree with you, because if you

723
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 14: could turn on a red arrow, then why would it

724
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 14: be red?

725
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 3: Right?

726
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 14: Just make it yellow.

727
00:37:55,040 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 3: They're always those things are always at intersection where people

728
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 3: are coming at major speeds. So you've got to be

729
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 3: really careful with those things.

730
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 7: Yeah. Well, I'll tell you when I'm coming out of this.

731
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 2: You got I got to go now, Tom, Thanks, time's.

732
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 5: Up, Thank you, so gooy.

742
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 2: physician lately? It's It's terrible, isn't it. It's really difficult

743
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 2: to find a primary care physician. There is a crisis.

744
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 2: We're going to find out how about what caused the crisis,

745
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 2: how bad it is, and how to fix it. Coming

746
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 2: up on WBZ News Radio ten thirty
